I love to use glimmer mist! It depends on how much you use and what you put it on. If I just sprtiz a bit on a flower or cardstock, I would say just a few minutes. If I spray several good squirts onto chipboard I allow maybe 15 or so minutes. I haven't really paid much attention to the drying time. It is nothing at all like stickles, so I don't really think about it.
